Drinks: What Is Cheap to Expensive?
- By Stephen aka Original Lime Flavour
- Published 08-Jul-09
We hearing complaints about top shelf drink vs Premium drinks and what we expect to pay for an all inclusive that makes it good value. eg I think DV8 priced at $55 was good value but have heard others points of view.
Does your perception change depending on where you’re located (e.g. $5 for a pint of beer in NYC might be considered a steal, but in other areas it could be viewed as outrageous)? Tell us what you think.
Are we just plain old abusing the word "Premium" in our all-inclusive parties?
Tribute to $hel $hok - Podcast

In the 90's we would look forward to playing music for the people and "ramming out the dances". What we did not know is that together we were making a new part of history, a new culture of Trinidad and Tobago. "Breaking new tracks" is what Shel Shok chuckled to us all. "I broke the most new tracks in Coconuts," he would exclaim. And you know, he was right! He always was pushing the boundaries. Kissdadee Caravan to the day he passed.
We as a culture have suffered the loss of another pioneer. Let us remember those many nights that we pushed each other and moved our culture forward in the attached podcast.

1 MAN + 1 CAMERA .... IN DE MIDDLE OF PLENTY BACHANNAL!

In all fairness, yes .... Carnival is a big and serious ting! BUT, we should not let it take away or distract us from enjoying and celebrating the Christmas Holiday season at hand! And for us West Indians (especially Trini's), that means lots of close family & friends, ham & pastelles, punch-a-creme, sorrel, ginger beer (the list goes on and on) and PARANG!!
Parang music is an integral part of our our culture and really adds to that holiday spirit ... making Christmas time at home better than being anywhere else in the WORLD!! That said, let's not forget to listen to and enjoy all the great PARANG MUSIC by our local artists (be sure to support and buy the original CDs) ... NEW & OLD!
ENJOY PARANG MUSIC ON TJJ TODAY - http://www.trinijunglejuice.com/parang.html
And don't be the GRINCH THAT STOLE PARANG either .... please SHARE music with ALL your FAMILY & FRIENDS!
- Chooks
ps. And yes, after we PARANG, we will indeed SOCA! ;-)
